The Chernobog Institute was very lively and had a good research atmosphere half a year ago, but now this place is filled with a sense of silence, as if this is not a semi-official private research institute, but a research institute. A prison for serious criminals.
This is also true. The soldiers wearing black helmets and weapons on their waists guarding the door are no different from the prison guards.
Even compared to ordinary prison guards, these people are more unreasonable. They will not allow the person who stuffed the money to contact the outside world just because they stuffed the money. On the contrary, they will arrest the person who stuffed the money, and then Under severe torture.
Now here, it is forbidden to enter the outside information, and it is also forbidden to transmit the information inside. However, the information is like this, let alone the people inside. All Chernobog researchers have been included in the key supervision targets. among the list.
Ursus's director of special intelligence in Chernobog, Trubny takes this very seriously, and whoever makes a mistake will be unlucky.
The misfortune here is not just about resigning early. As intelligence personnel, there is often no such thing as resignation. Generally speaking, resignation means actively sacrificing one's life for the country, or it means passively 'sacrifice one's life for the country'.
Therefore, those who can be Ursus intelligence agents are basically people with both loyalty and ability. At this time, the person who leads those people to a higher level, Director Trubney, is doing the work of torture, but strictly Speaking of which, that should be regarded as a job of forced questioning.
Because of the special nature of the subject of torture, without the support of a higher-level figure, even Director Trubney is unable to use some of the more common and crude methods on the other party who is in a somewhat special situation. of.
"Ms. Kelsey, Dr. Ilya is your student, and teachers have more powerful professional knowledge and master more powerful professional skills than students, but it is also common sense, otherwise they cannot be teachers who teach others.
Even so, it makes no sense that Dr. Ilya, a student who is in charge of the same research project as you, can research something, but you, as a teacher, cannot, and you also express your ignorance about it. . "
“Director Trubny, I must remind you that Elijah was my student twenty years ago.
In the next twenty years, he also developed his own, and mastered knowledge and skills that were completely better than what I, as a teacher, could possibly have.
As the saying goes, there are specializations in the arts, and my research on ancient mechanics is obviously no longer as good as my former students. "
"Then as the person in charge of the sarcophagus remains research project at the Chernobyl Institute, how should you explain the fact that you know nothing about its research?"
Director Trubney slammed the table hard, trying to intimidate the woman in front of him with his loud voice and angry posture.
But the white-haired woman opposite him with erect wolf or fox ears, who didn't know whether she was a wolf or a fox, had a calm face. She didn't look frightened or intimidated at all. She behaved expressionlessly so that people would feel that she That's a serious reply.
"Everyone has their own selfish motives. Although our institute has always advocated joint efforts, there are always some arrogant and talented guys who believe that the results of their own research far exceed those of others. Therefore, they hide some core The research materials only reveal some superficial information, which is also something that I, the person in charge, cannot control.
After all, I am just an ordinary researcher, and the only thing I can do is probably express my anger at those who take the information that all the researchers of our institute have worked hard to study and abscond in fear of crime.
If, Director Trubney, you need me to issue a statement of rebuke to the outside world, then not only me, but also my colleagues at the institute who want to join me will definitely actively cooperate with your just actions! "
"Kelsey, are you taking me for a fucking fool?"
Director Trubney slapped the table and stood up. His thighs and calves, which were originally at a 90-degree angle, straightened too quickly, but the chair under his butt was pushed out in an instant.
The steel chair fell to the ground behind. First there was a bang, and then there was a shaking sound. The shaking sound lasted for a while, and then stopped as the frequency increased.
"At the beginning, we have arrested all those who were preparing to pick up Dr. Ilya and his daughter. According to the confessions given by those people, you are the one who arranged an escape route for Ilya and his daughter. You want to send them away Go to Kazdale, am I right, Kelsey?!"
"Fabricating evidence, using inhumane and brutal methods, threatening some marginalized people in society, and subduing them to persuade them to turn an innocent person into a criminal is a common method used by your intelligence agency, but you should not treat this This kind of dirty trick was used on me, because this kind of slander is of no use to me, and you should know this too."
The table in front of him was smashed with bangs, and Director Trubney looked angry.
"Do you think you can do whatever you want if you live long?"
Before he could say any more righteous words, Kelsey on the opposite side answered.
"Yes, if you live long, you can get to know a lot of people. Those people are either my friends or the students I have taught. They have good friendships with me, and some even owe me some favors. But now , many people are already in high positions, and for the sake of their former kindness, they can indeed guarantee that I will not be treated unfairly or even darkly. What’s the matter? Don’t you have a real sense of it during these days of imprisoning my freedom? Have you ever felt like this?"
This unabashed attitude of 'living as long as you can do whatever you want' directly made Director Trubney feel heartbroken.
Especially a few days ago, he also received news from the imperial capital, that is, the queen of Kazdare wrote a letter to the emperor of Ursus, expressing her willingness to respect the laws of Ursus, hoping that she The former teacher would not be treated unfairly by anyone or anything on the Ursus side.
Although it was only a private letter, and His Majesty Fyodor, who now sits in the highest position in Ursus, and his rights as emperor are also restricted by the Imperial Parliament, for some unknown reason, he At the last Imperial Council meeting, His Majesty the Emperor specifically mentioned this matter, and the situation became somewhat complicated.
Director Trubney, although his butt is a little crooked, is not completely loyal to the Emperor, but it does not mean that he can ignore the attitude that the Emperor has shown, even if it is just that the other party is about to end his time in the Imperial Parliament. At the end of the sentence, a casual mention will not work.
Yes, there is a saying in this world that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away. He can still be rude to Kelsey, but if this kind of rudeness is possible on the premise that he will also be pulled into the water and drown, then he will Just like now, even if I am really angry in my heart, I still have to hold back the so-called anger.
She endured the old woman in front of her who looked like she was only in her twenties or thirties, but actually had not lived that long. She told lies and ridiculed her without any politeness.
"Ms. Kelsey, you are very good, really very good. I really can't do anything to you now, but that doesn't mean I can't do anything to others at the Chernobyl Institute."
Director Trubney had a dangerous smile on his face.
"what are you up to?"
Kelsey stared at him and narrowed her eyes.
"About this, I think it won't be long before you know about it, so I'll take my leave for now."
Chief Trubney walked out.
"If what you do does not comply with the laws of the Empire, then I will definitely file a lawsuit with the Supreme Court of the Empire to accuse you of illegal behavior."
Kelsey's voice was locked in the temporary interrogation room.
With her back to the door, the clothes on her back suddenly bulged.
His spine moved like a living thing, but eventually fell silent.
Kelsey took a deep breath, feeling a little weak.
She has the means to protect herself, but she does not have the ability to save other people in the institute.
. . . .
Director Trubney came to another interrogation room filled with anger.
Inside, there was a somewhat dejected middle-aged man sitting.
"Dr. Sergey, have you thought about some research matters in the institute?"
"I thought about it, I thought about it from the beginning, but everything I know has been explained, and I really don't know what else to say."
"As a core researcher in the Chernobog Institute, all the things you handed down were basic stuff. You think I should believe you?"
"Director Kelsey is nepotistic. Ilya is her student, so she leaves many key research directions to him, while other researchers and I are basically doing chores. We are really I don’t know the core research information.”
The middle-aged man looked innocent.
"What about the matter I gave you to reopen the sarcophagus and continue research?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Director, the remains of the sarcophagus are sealed from the inside. Without the unlocking key, we simply cannot open the sarcophagus and continue our research."
"So, you are just a loser who can't do anything?"
Director Trubney raised a brow.
"Feel sorry."
Sergey lowered his head.
"You, stand up for me."
Sergey didn't know what the other party was going to do, but he still stood up obediently.
"Ugh..."
A dull voice sounded, and a fist hit the stomach of the somewhat thin middle-aged researcher.
Gastric juice covered what he had eaten in the morning, but it spurted out from his mouth.
The severe pain in his abdomen made the man unable to straighten his waist and bowed his body like a shrimp.
"I suffered a lot from Kelsey, but I don't want to suffer from others. Do you understand what I mean?"
"But, I really don't..."
"It seems that this punch is not impressive enough for you. It doesn't matter. We can continue..."
After a series of punches and kicks, poor Dr. Sergey lay on the ground like a dying stray dog, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth and nose.
"I wonder if you have any new answers for me now?"
Sergey didn't reply. He didn't know whether he had no energy to reply or had nothing to say.
Director Trubney did not continue to hit the people on the ground. Some of the anger in his heart had been vented. However, he straightened his somewhat messy clothes and then said to Sergey on the ground: "It doesn't matter if you don't answer. I I also brought you two little guests.”
As he spoke, Director Trubney clapped his hands, and the door to the interrogation room was opened. Two subordinates from the Intelligence Bureau walked in, each holding a child in their hands. The child's mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth. , can only make a hum sound.
Director Trubney signaled, and the strip of cloth from the child's mouth was removed.
"dad."
The boy's shout and the girl's cry sounded almost at the same time.
"Alex, Misha?"
Hearing the familiar voice, the man on the ground reacted. He opened his red and swollen eyes and looked towards the door.
"Look, these are two cute little guys. Dr. Sergey, you must not have seen them for a long time. I will help bring them to you. I hope that for the sake of your children, you can Give me some useful information."
"I really didn't..."
"You want your children to get hurt?"
"You are investigating me, not my family. This is unreasonable and illegal..."
Sergey grabbed the director's boot.
"Yes, that's right, but so what. You are not Kelsey, nor Ilya who has escaped. You are just a researcher with no background. Even if you have a little reputation in academia, you are not facing When I give you injustice, you have no power to resist!"
Director Trubney was a little sarcastic. He didn't care about his own rights and was persecuting some innocent people.
"Of course, treating objects that are not within the scope of my investigation at will will bring me some unnecessary trouble, but I have many ways to avoid trouble.
You should be aware of the New Deal's Infected Persons Act. As long as a person becomes an infected person, that person will lose some of their due rights in Ursus society. "
Director Trubney took out a small box from his pocket. This was a method used by many special departments to solve troubles. It contained a refined and sharpened source stone.
"As we all know, one of the ways to contract mineral disease is through excessive contact with Originium products. As long as I pierce this small Originium into your son or your daughter's body, let it stay in their body for a period of time. , they will become infected.
At that time, I can use the name of the new political law to legitimately send your children to places where infected people go, such as the extremely cold northern mines. The infected people who go there consume a total of is huge.
Now, I'll give you some time to think, and I hope you can give me some new answers..."
